Don Albert - Architect

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Contested prod (See Talk:Don Albert - Architect). Subject is a South African architect that appears to be non-notable. Although there are claims of notability, I can find few reliable sources that document this or discuss the subject in detail. Few Google hits in search or books. It may be because subject is non-western but listing here to get consensus. (Two SPAs, see history.) Christopher Connor (talk) 19:13, 12 July 2010 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Comment Possibly not enough notability. Seems to be a young emerging architect with a considerable list of publications mentioning him, yet none fully dedicated to him or his buildings. Some independent online sources I found:, , . The content certainly has multiple issues. Considering the CV like text, quality of images and user contribution history is possible to be self promotion. --Elekhh (talk) 03:15, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Second relist rationale. The article is a BLP. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:06, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Userfy needs clean-up and citations (marked up as such) and looks to be a clear case of COI and advertising. However there are some indications of notability such as mention in this article and assertion of nomination for major award. There is also a copyvio issue from here .

 * If by "assertion of nomination for major award" you mean the unreferenced "AGA KHAN Award Nomination for Proud Heritage Clothing Campus, 2010", I believe that is not notable given that simple nominations do not appear to be published and it was not shortlisted. Is rather another unreferenced info which is likely to originate from the architect's office. --Elekhh (talk) 00:59, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure if these sources are reliable or independent, but they might be useful and. A young architect and firm that have gotten some notice. Freakshownerd (talk) 00:49, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
